I think u can still find cheapish prices/places in USA, mainly inland, less well known states, away from the East/West coasts for instance.
Detroit has very cheap housing, not sure what the place is like to live at?
I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and the cost of living here is ridiculously reasonable compared to either coast.
Decent to nice one bedroom apartment - roughly $400/$500 per month (I live in a $350 studio, married friends live in a $425 one bedroom, my girlfriend's parents live in a super nice 2 bedroom for $700 monthly)
Utilities and Electricity - depending, cheap as $50 monthly or up to $150. The furnace in my basement is probably 30-50 years old which is why my utility bill averages $120-$180 in the wintertime, most people would not have this problem.
Groceries - $150-$250 is plenty if you shop sensibly.
Miscellaneous - I budget $100 monthly. Covers my laundry, soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc.
So for basic apartment, utilities, food, and some misc. items, $700-$1,000.00 monthly. Entertainment budget can be as big or small as you like. Living in Clifton (the college neighborhood) is very doable on such a budget (similar to my own) and there are almost 20,000 bitches aged 18-25 walking around this one neighborhood.
I stayed in Bowling Green and Toledo for a while, BG have a nice UNI full of nice Brazil girls...lol
Anyway based on your good report, its 1/2 in USA of what it cost here in AUS, not only are your properties cheap in USA your labour hour rate is half what it is here, nobody [adults] really wants to work for less than $20/hr, and i dont blame them, its simply not enough coin to get ahead and live.
The glory days are over in AUS, we have pissed it all away, if your business savy you need to move to China, thats the new king of the world these days
